Finally time to pull the trigger . . . starting on the New (much anticipated) SHOP - Build

The cold front came though here during the night.....both gauges out under the carport have different readings but they always do. The alcohol gauge said 34 and the digital had 36 but there was some very thing ice on the cover of a water trough that's back there too (my red neck pool).
Not as bad as us in Va, 8” of snow and temps in the 20s during the day with a 15 mph wind. Come on spring

The weather guessers are predicting 27 low tomorrow morning then 26 and then 16 for Wednesday and snow/icy mix for Tuesday. The week will be warming up starting Thursday with 24/42 and 28/49 Friday and Saturday will be a blistering heat wave @ 36/65 lol. Welcome to Texas :lol:
 
Wish that was in our forcast. Haighs in single digits this week. We are getting hammered this year for some reason

Supposedly a huge dome of cold air over the North Pole and high pressure pushing it down. There's a low pressure to the south and a bit west of Texas that's helping it come further south. The weather guessers are saying 16 degrees for a low out here on Wednesday....
 
All of the windows are now installed . . . The lookout is now completed ! ! !

Finally - got all the windows installed this past weekend . . . Love it ! !

The look of the silo lookout from the ground . . . really happy with the results !

This is a really tough picture to take in such a small space . . . tried the best that I could . . . but it still is a
pretty impressive resulting shot . . .

The climb up the last ladder to the loft ( lookout ) . . . this is what you see . . . still need to make the "door" that
will cover the hole in the floor so you can walk around the entire loft area . . . future project . . .

The loft area still has some siding work that needs to be done to get it completed, and I'm trying to decide about
running the siding the same way, or switching the top section up to lap siding . . .

not sure what will be the decision . . .

Either way - there is still a bit of work and it's at a very high height . . . working out of windows . . . should be "fun"

More Later . . .

Hopefully you have noticed the inside is a lot warmer now with everything all closed in. :thumbsup:

Kind of makes me wish I could live somewhere that you can build what you like when you want. :)
